A portal for integrating all types of Aspergillus data, from taxonomy, genomes, phenotype to applications

The genus Aspergillus is one of the best studied genera of filamentous fungi, largely because of the medical (A. fumigatus, A. terreus), food spoilage (A. flavus, A. parasiticus), and industrial (A. niger, A. aculeatus, A. oryzae) relevance of some of its species.

The AspergillusNet aims to encompass diverse research data on Aspergillus species. , including morphology, physiology, mycotoxin production, ecology, antifungal susceptibility, and DNA barcodes. By integrating fragmented data from different public databases, the AspergillusNet portal will create a comprehensive knowledge base to benefits the fungal community in various ways, enabling accurate fungal identification, advancing AI based technology, enhancing food safety, and addressing biodiversity loss. Aligned with Open Science principles, it fosters collaboration, accelerates research, and promotes transparency, open access, and reproducibility in scientific discovery.
